In our Florida home, DH and his father made me the greatest shelf for my spices. It was only 3" deep and it went all the way around my pantry, so it was like 10' long. I alphabetized my spices. If nothing else in my life or home was in order, I always had the spices.

On target for macros yesterday. The eye appt went fine. I have a "floater". They look like birds flying by every now and then. I am told they are here to stay. I should probably name them since they will be with me forever now. LOL

Yesterday.. felt puffy and fat. Even looking in the mirror, I looked fat. Its been like that for a couple days. This morning, I think things look better.

Sleep last night was aweful!! I was awake off and on all night. Soooo annoying! I have noticed though when my carbs go too low, my sleep is affected. This is something I am going to watch. I am not in ketosis according to the stix and was not according to the monitor last Monday. Working to get back though. Last night as I was trying to go to sleep I was being woo'd by the call of chocolate and crap in the house. It took everything I had to STAY IN BED and NOT submit. I have said it before and I will say it again, sugar is my crack.

I got this article in my email today: Are you an Addict?
Its questionable if I am addicted to dairy- I know wheat and sugar. I mean, I can go without cheese and butter if I must.. no problem. I prefer cream in my coffee but have been able to take it black and not have withdrawls.. I have not read the whole article. Its on the to-do list today.

Brain dead.. need ideas for dinner with ground turkey. The caveat is, something my dd will eat as well. Miss Ultra-pickey..ugh! I got her to eat some chicken thighs last night if she could dip the pieces in bbq sauce. She does not like anything spicy... translation- flavor. She loves salt but not pepper.. I have put ranch seasoning in burger and made ranch burgers.. I could again.. but she may not eat them..

whooo.. I just had a single portion of my bp coffee this morning and the tummy was a-grumbling @10a-10:30. Since I was in class (love a schedule) I pushed through. I have to be honest though, if I were not in class I do not know if I would have grabbed something sooner. Probably. I know I need to focus on its ok to be empty.

Making a list for traveling.. I have to be organized and make MANY lists prior to departing ANYWHERE
for the drive:
hard boiled eggs (probably just the yolks)
celery
beef jerky (maybe)
butter and cream for morning bpc
pouch of tuna (just in case)
water
herbed tea
instant decaf for ohmygosh, I need something hot
maybe some liverwurst
